Whether it's mastering algebra to pursue a science course at Tyne Metropolitan College or analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls' for an English A-Level, these qualifications are essential. They build the foundation your child needs to earn a place at a competitive sixth form and, later on, respected universities in the North East and beyond.

Ffion W
Absolutely fabulous.. my daughter was in tears this week as her teachers at college refused to help , and isolated her from the class. Tonight after just one hour with Ffion, she has turned a corner for my daughter, going from feeling like a failure to feeling positive again and given her hope that she can do this. Cant thank her enough .. will definitely be booking her again.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about getting the GCSE grades for a competitive sixth form in North Tyneside. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in North Shields come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific grades they need for entry into competitive local sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on exam technique, fill knowledge gaps, and build the confidence your child needs to perform their best.
We're hoping for a place at Newcastle or Durham University. Can a tutor support A-Level studies for this?
Yes. Many of our tutors are specialists in A-Level subjects and have a deep understanding of what top universities look for. They can provide advanced support to help your child achieve the A* or A grades needed for entry into respected universities like Newcastle and Durham.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I find the right online tutor for my child in North Shields?
It's simple. Just enter the subject your child needs help with and their level of study into our search bar. You can then browse profiles of available tutors, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style before sending them a message.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough background check. We also interview every applicant, and only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the subject level, starting from around £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting allows your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them feel more capable and positive about their studies. This boost in confidence often has a wonderful knock-on effect on their grades.
What results can we realistically expect?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade. For GCSE students, our tailored support can help them improve by up to two grades, which can make a huge difference to their future options. It's why over 200,000 students have trusted us to help them achieve their goals.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space for your child to learn from the comfort of home, using a laptop or tablet.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones as needed. You can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from 11+ to degree level, Tutorful is also a place for personal development. You can find expert tutors for hobbies and skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never have to deal with cash or awkward payment conversations with your tutor.
